This dissertation discloses the peculiar socioeconomic resemblance between state prisoners and volunteers of non-profit organizations in California by documenting how, within neoliberal and capitalist perspectives, both are forced onto an exploitation-based wage system, historically established to commodify labor and to control, administer, and perpetuate poverty.Through the comparison of the wage system imposed to non-profit volunteers providing rehabilitation services to prisoners and California state prisoners laboring inside Californian correctional facilities, I claim the existence of socioeconomic structural correspondences, constructed around capitalism, neoliberalism, and class- and race-driven politics. These structural similarities are enclosed and executed by the complexes, the prison industrial complex and the non-profit industrial complex, and can be tracked through the historical and theoretical contextualization of the American criminal justice system.Modern slavery, in the form of non-corporate volunteerism and prisoners' labor, is violence intended to ensure that those located at the bottom of the social strata do not gain economic mobility and that poverty's conditions and conditioning inside prison do not differ from that on the outside. Furthermore, by no coincidence, Hispanics and African Americans are overrepresented in prison (almost 70% of the total adult prison population in California).The main argument of this research claims that poverty is not only administrable and profitable but also criminalizable. Moreover, the control and endurance of poverty can only persist by (1) legitimizing the disproportionate use of wealth- and power-transfer to regulate class immobility, (2) imposing class systems that reinforce social Darwinist "good-vs.-evil narratives," and (3) adopting a state of exception policy within the limits of the economics of the justice system, ensuring that the poor remains poor.Whether a prisoner or a volunteer, this precarious existence under institutionalized and legalized classism and racism forces those at the bottom of the hierarchy to survive but not live. Nonetheless, the bodies condemned to be disposed or killed by the market, are those same bodies who exhale resistance, companeros and companeras taking direct action toward constructing a utopia. This utopia is characterized by humane connection and self-determination, and by claiming one's right to live and to look, in dignifying ways.
